I've been here a couple times in 2025, once with a friend and once with family as tourists and both times it really hit the spot. The beer was cold, the patio was warm and friendly and staff was pleasant to deal with. No surprises here at Mill Street Brew Pub so do not hesitate to get in and order a pint or a burger. read more

Gord and I had supper at Mill Street Brew Pub last evening. I had Buttermilk Chicken Tenders and Fries with plum sauce on the side and Gord had Bang Bang Shrimp (crispy coated shrimp, chili aioli, sesame seeds, nori dust, scallions). Both were good. I left a lot of fries and took a couple chicken tenders home for lunch today. Lucy was friendly and took good care of us. read more

Mill Street Brewpub has a lot going for it -- a prime location in the historic Distillery District, a cozy pub atmosphere, and some genuinely great beer. Their house brews are consistently solid, making it a great spot to support local craft brewing. The food, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. I had the burger and fries, and while they were tasty (as you'd expect from a good brewpub), the prices felt steep for what you get. It's clear they're banking on the heavy tourist foot traffic, and unfortunately, that means you end up paying a premium for a pretty standard pub meal. It's a bit of a shame because if the food was priced more reasonably, it could easily become a go-to spot for a casual drink and bite -- not just for tourists but for locals too. Come for the beer, enjoy the atmosphere, but just know you're paying extra for the surroundings. read more

A gigantic beer hall with different vibes available at different sections - indoors, outdoors, at the bar, in sofa, on high stools, pick what you need. Always maintain ~10 standard kegs and another ~10 seasonal, changing kegs. A great place to chill and have a beer after you explored the distillery district. read more

December 18/2024: Distillery District Xmas visit with my Al/Tony/Heather & Red. This was a good meal. I had the Clementine Sour Beer. It was excellent! H very tasty & sour, just the way I like it. My main was the Korean Christy Chicken Sandwich. It was delicious as well. They've upped their game here. Our server "Nic" was very effective & patient with the table of 5. Under the circumstances I'd thought they'd want to get us out as quickly as possible. I didn't feel rushed or neglected. I'd go again. read more

This was much better than our last visit. We were sat in at the bar area and the bartender was great - really funny and enjoyable to deal with. We started off with a flight and I tried all their stouts on offer and then I fell in love with the cookies and cream. So much so that after dinner we went back to watch the hockey game. Unfortunately the bar/lounge area with all the TV's was closing? That seemed odd. So we were led to the more restaurant area where we had TV's but it was odd they didn't turn on the sound for a game like this. I didn't really mind; I was just there for more cookies and cream. read more

If you happened to be in distillery district and in a pinch, go for a drink but not to eat here. Snack maybe but not meal2. The poutine is so sad no flavour, little cheese curd. The pot pie's top crust is fine but there's no flavour on the pie itself. Super bland. The beer selection is decent, the bartender knows his beer and he gave me 2 taste of the beer/cider/sour that I want to try and I go with his suggestion for cider. We were there around 1 pm on Saturday, very quiet still so it's nice for us to hang out there read more

While at the Distillery District for the Winter Village we decided to stop at the Mill Street Brew Pub for lunch. We've been there in the past but only for drinks in the evening. It was an enjoyable experience. The bartender was excellent and made us feel very welcome. The food was very good as well. We had tacos and a large pretzel. We especially liked the shrimp tacos. read more

We have tried lots of spots in the DD. First time here. Huge dining room and also huge patio space in the summer. Staff were fine if somewhat sparse. (It was so so busy) Had the wings and sweet potatoes fries. Both excellent. Hubby and I shared the chocolate cake for dessert. Also very good. Thought it was a little pricey for pub style food, but everything was tasty. Parking is in nearby lots. read more

Living on the east end for a while now, and only recently got a chance to visit this brewpub retail location to serve as a frontline for their historic brewery (they also have a location in Pearson international and Ottawa as of this writing). They are now a subsidiary of Labatt (in turn Anheuser-Busch) but their staff was quick to point out that the corporate big-wigs allow for a hands off approach to their management of the brewery itself, which allows their brew gurus to have the freedom to experiment with funky flavor profiles and intrigue the public. I know this information because I got their guided tour for about $15 a pop that includes a pint of any beer ya fancy, totally recommend getting that. Includes some history of the brewery, the distillery district, and insight into the beer making and ingredients. I won't say more. Let's talk about the beer. I'm preferential to delicate, clean flavors, so the original lager was my first choice and remained my favorite. If you're not "boring" as I am on your beer-snob scale, my beer partner in crime of the day recommended the hazy organic IPA which while obviously high on the hoppy scale, was easy to go down thanks to some citrus notes. Staying with the ales, my recommendation is the Tankhouse pale ale. Not too bitter/hoppy, yet retains that malty flavor, but goes down smoother, and a pretty deep red color. Beer flights (with 4 tastings) are available and come in 5 oz measurements, so there's quite enough to get a taste and then some. They're always running specials/experimental flavors that keep changing while retaining their permanent fixtures. read more

A few years ago, in December 2018, I was in the Distillery District with a couple of friends. We were shopping and browsing. We were thinking about a place to eat for lunch. We dropped by Mill Street Brew Pub. The line was long to wait for a table. It was a bit cold to dine outside, despite having an outdoor area with tables and mini heaters on them. I am a bit different in that I tend to drink cold beverages year-round. I had already had a hot chocolate at Balzac's. I felt like beer. Shopping can do that. This eatery had a few selections of beer outside. I got one. I generally take photos of practically everything. Oddly, I don't have any photos that I had a beer in my hand for the rest of our time at the Christmas Market. I had no physical proof. Was I hiding something?! My guess is that I was too busy catching up with friends that I don't see too often that taking a photo of my beer wasn't top priority. I will say that I got a full can. It did not stick to my mouth, so it wasn't frigid outside. I likely did the pale ale back in 2018. These days, Mill St. has more varieties, like raspberry and sangria, that I would go for. It was cold and smooth. The beer was good. It was smooth and was exactly what I had in mind, minus not being able to secure a table. The wait time was over an hour. I still had a bit of beer in my can by the time we left the market to go find another eatery where there was seating. A male staffer let me know that I couldn't bring my beer outside of the market. I ended up chugging maybe four gulps left of my can of beer and then tossed it into the recycling bin. Good times. I frankly don't know whether it's worth returning to check out the food here when the Christmas market is in full swing. I'm more inclined to return when it's not as crazy and see if I have better luck securing a table. You do have to shell out for parking when you're in the Distillery District. If you just want Mill St. beer, it's probably cheaper if you hit an LCBO and get a case in the comfort of your own or friend's home. (449) read more

Fun stop at the Winter Village. We were hungry for lunch and this location looked like it had a fair amount of tables available. I ordered the burger, my son the tenders, and my husband had the chicken salad. I ended up giving half my burger to my husband as the salad wasn't as large as the price suggested and the burger was too much for me to eat. The toffee ale was delicious. My husband had the espresso martini which he enjoyed. Cute ambiance. Team was very friendly. Service was quick and excellent. read more

We came between the Christmas holiday and new year and the distillery district was quite busy but fortunately we were able to get a table for 4 for lunch pretty easily here. The venue is deceiving and despite it's small entrance area, it's quite large. We ordered the fried pickles and poutine (poutine was better than the pickles, which isn't terribly surprising) to start and I had a kale salad which was good but forgettable. Friends enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich without complaint. We were able to linger and hang out without any pressure from the staff, and service was friendly. Prices were great with the CA/US exchange rate. read more

Came here for lunch with my husband on a weekday. We ordered their pretzel appetizer, French fries, chipotle pizza, zatar cauliflower, a beer (don't remember which one), and peppermint hot chocolate. Total came out to approximately $82 (without tip). What's hot - Service. Their staff was friendly and helpful in answering our questions about the menu. My husband was debating as to which beer to order, so our waitress provided a small sample for him to try, which was nice. We were also able to get in and out of there in 45 minutes, which was helpful. Sounds silly, but because we paid for parking nearby, the amount of time service took was something we had to be mindful of. - Quality. Their fries are delicious and you can taste the quality. Served warm, which definitely helped us enjoy it more. Their pretzel appetizer was warm, chewy and well seasoned with sea salt. Their beer cheese sauce was flavorful and their mustard was combined with horseradish, which we loved. It's difficult to come across a quality pretzel, especially one that is well-seasoned with sea salt and has good dipping sauces. This one definitely hits the mark. Their peppermint hot chocolate comes with Bailey's and broken up pieces of peppermint. Very delightful and helped warm us up on a windy day. The cauliflower zatar was delicious, as well. The cauliflower was tender and the sauce was flavorful, light, and unique. - Price. Reasonable, given the portions and quality. - Location. Easy to find in the distillery district. What's not - Pizza. Their chipotle pizza wasn't bad, but wasn't that good. First, their pizzas are thin crusts and hubby and I prefer thicker crusts. For having jalapeños on the chipotle pizza, we couldn't taste any spice. The flavor wasn't very unique, nor did it stand out. Disappointing. - Chairs. Their high stool chairs are somewhat wobbly, which I wasn't a fan of. Also difficult to move around and get in a good placement next to my husband. - Portions. The cauliflower dish is certainly not enough to get you full. It's about half head of cauliflower. I was surprised it doesn't come with brown rice or any other accompaniment. My husband's pizza also wasn't enough to get him full, which is why he ordered the fries at the end of our meal. Final answer Willing to come back, but maybe not a first choice. read more

Stopped in for lunch in the Distillery District and honestly could not have been much more disappointed in the food. While the burger with poutine wasn't bad, the nachos I got were a combination of stale and soggy chips with congealed cheese that made it difficult to try to eat any of it. The flavor and textures were just off because of that, and it put a damper on the whole meal. In an area surrounded by so many different options, this is one I would pass on. read more

We were a group of 10 seated in their outdoor heated patio on a Wednesday evening. The service was slow and the food was not worth the wait. I got their daily kettle soup to start, it was creamy and hearty. I enjoyed it esp since it was chilly outside. I ordered a pizza and a poutine. The poutine wasn't bad, nothing special. My pizza never came until everyone else was done their meal. I followed up multiple times but no one really seemed to know. I finally got my pizza as others were having dessert. The pizza was mediocre. I had the toffee pudding for dessert, that was really good. I enjoyed that. I got a buddah bowl and ribs as take out and had it the next day. The buddah bowl was really flavourful, a bit spicy. The ribs were really dry though, we didn't enjoy that. In the middle of our meal, both of our portable heaters turned off. I asked one of the staff to turn it back on for us, and she said only managers can do so but she doubt a manager would come out, and then walked off. So we ate the remaining of our meal in the cold. I also saw a waitress literally pulled down her meals as she served the meals, while talking. This made me uncomfortable and probably explains why they had an outbreak shortly after my visit. read more

We waited for a while and were supposed to receive a text, but they didn't even place us on the waitlist. Then, it was incredibly hot inside the restaurant on a hot summer day. The food was okay but heavily processed and basically frozen then fried or microwaved. We then had to wait a very long time to leave before our server returned and she said that was due to only having one credit card machine. read more

Came here for lunch after my boyfriend, brother & I arrived in Toronto. Wanted to check out the distillery district. It was a rainy day so just came here. It is inside an old factory and gives off rustic charm. I tired the 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager and had a tasting of the Blue Wave. The amber was smooth and had a microbrew taste to it. If I wasn't full from the food, I would have ordered a second glass. The Blue Wave is a beer inspired by the Toronto Blue Jays. According to the description, it is a lager and IPA in one. It had a unique taste - it was similar to a Labatt Blue, but with a sweet taste added to it. I don't think I could drink a whole glass, but I would recommend it to someone who would drink a lager or IPA regularly. My boyfriend tried the Brickworks Queen Street 501 cider and says it was really good. For food we ordered the Brew Pub Burger, Nashville Fried Chicken sandwich, and Brewpub wings done hot. All 3 came with fries. The wings looked breaded but were deep-fried. I was told they were good. My boyfriend ordered the burger. He said he could have had more pink in it (his preference/they didn't ask how to make it), but said it was very juicy, due to being made with chuck beef. I ordered the Nashville sandwich and it was huge. It was the perfect blend of the Nashville flavor and the chicken was moist and delicious. The fries were freshly made and were not over cooked. I definitely will return! read more

We went there when christmas market was there. The service was decent. The food is just like regular pub good. The prices are a bit overpriced but what can you say when they are located in a touristy area?! For that price, I did expect a bit better / fancier quality in food but no.... Kids meal hamburger look the same as the regular hamburger on the menu. yet half its price. Just bring you own lettuce and pickle l and you have a full burger. We also got the chicken and chorizo pot pie. You cant get it from kids menu. so more worthy and it tastes decent. It came with caesar salad, but i dont remember seeing caesar salad dressing anywhere... it was more like they forgot to mix it with it. Nacho also looks good. Tasted like any other pub food item. so i would only recommend to get their beer and pub food items if I ever come back again. read more

The good. 3/4 of the flight that I ordered was really good. The sour was meh at best. The bad. I had (without a doubt) the worst chicken wings of my life. That topped off by a miserable server that couldn't have cared less about the fact that he took away almost an entire uneaten order of food. I'd recommend for the beer, not the food. read more

It's been a while since we came to the distillery district but it was a nice time as usual. There was a lot of activity and it was a perfect day for patio dining. I had the beer flute and then ordered a pint of the lager. I'm a pretty picky burger eater and I found Mill Street to have an excellent burger! The beef patty was large and substantial, and had great flavors. I give this a big thumbs up. I also tried their soup of the day which was a curried carrot soup that was quite good. And finally their sticky toffee pudding dessert was a great finale to a fantastic meal. I really enjoyed my meal at Mill Street Brew Pub, a well known Toronto establishment.... read more

I guess having high expectations never helps. This was my first time going to enjoy mill st organic lager at this location. To be fair, staff shortages aren't helping anyone. So showing up on a Saturday night doesn't guarantee the best experience. The Tangerine Sour was the star. The food was on the cold side; I mean don't we all love our wings & poutine hot? Our server was awesome & a proper legend in her own right. I'll revisit & hope to give a better rating. read more

Last Christmas I went to this brewery and tried their curry, which was awful. This year, because every restaurant was full during the Christmas Market festivities, my friends and I had to settle for the same place again. This time, I ordered fish and chips. Can't go wrong with fish and chips in a pub. I thought. The bar tender agreed. The food came. The fish was so dried that I didn't even bothered to finish it. The chips were those very finely cut ones.... they annoyed me with their wilted limpness. Next Christmas, a note to myself - please don't go back for food. 2 stars instead of zero, because the service was ok. read more

They take "no outside food" policy as gospel. Now 3/4 of our party is inside eating food..we got a hot chocolate for the kid from outside . Will they let us take it in? Of course not..not even at the entrance..so need to dress the kid back up and go out and finish hot chocolate before you can enjoy the food.

On a recent visit and photo shoot in the Distillery District, we decided to grab some dinner. Mill Street Brew Pub seemed to be the only place that could accommodate us right away. Why was that? Were they no good? We did check a few other places before settling on here and there was up to a two hour wait at the other places! Hmmm, we'll give it a try... Compared to the neighbouring Mill Street Beer Hall, which I've been to before, the menu seems a bit smaller, with lighter fare. That was actually fine for what we wanted. At least for what we thought we wanted. After contemplating the menu for a while, we chose Honey Garlic Chicken wings to start, followed by a Malaysian Chicken Curry with rice, and a Buffalo Blue Burger with a beef patty, chicken tenders, bacon, and blue cheese. The wings arrived first, saturated in honey, perhaps a tad too much for my liking, but they tasted good. They were served with carrot sticks and blue cheese sauce. Overall, not bad. I had the Malaysian Chicken Curry and it was pretty good. The sauce had a nice flavour and it was spiced just right. The portion was quite generous. Again though, maybe a little too much sauce. My companion had the Buffalo Blue Burger and it appeared to be quite hefty, with a couple of chicken fingers and bacon sitting on the beef patty. She kinda ate it deconstructed because of its size. Overall, the food was good and the service was acceptable, considering how busy they were. We did, however, get in right away. Comedian Garry Shandling's lookalike sat a few tables away from us. read more

The Distillery has so many patio options in the summer but I especially enjoyed my visit to Mill Street Brew Pub because they are dog-friendly and you're able to make a reservation by calling in ahead of time! Atmosphere is casual and it's a great spot to bring the family or catch up with friends. Fish and chips - Tasted decent and the portion size was generous. Can't go wrong with choosing this. BBQ - You get a little bit of everything! Again, generous portions. Chicken and chorizo pot pie - This was delicious and I would order it again but I'm biased because I love warm, hearty, and soupy dishes. 3 stars because honestly there weren't many options I gravitated towards on the menu and everything offered is your typical, average pub food. read more

Finally got to check out Mill Street Brew Pub's Distillery District location. The Breakdown: Ginny from the block | 8/10 - Minty cocktail with a mix of lime juice and soda - Refreshing and sweet Fried chicken & waffles | 9/10 - my favourite menu item! - combination of sweet and savoury - soft and tender waffles drizzled with maple syrup - topped with fried karaage (Japanese fried chicken) Southwest street corn | 8/10 - whoever thought feta cheese and corn would taste good together? - this was the menu item that intrigued me the most - once you bite in, you can taste the sweet (corn) and savoury (ranch, feta cheese) together Colonel Hurley's fried chicken sandwich | 7.5/10 - chicken was nice and tender and I enjoyed the addition of vegetables - fries were well salted and yummy - enjoyed this burger but wasnt a fan of the sauce (if youre a fan of hot sauce on your chicken, I recommend this) Pub club salad | 8.5/10 - salad topped with pieces of chicken - great light appetizer to start off a big meal - dressing wasn't strong and went well with chicken I will be coming back to try more of their burgers and definitely those chicken and waffles. The employees were helpful and friendly as well. Follow @debeats_ for more Distillery District spots read more
